Car sales on the rise

Posted on 3 September, 2009 by Steve

Latest research claims that last month in August car sales rose up to 5% higher than they were last August. Naturally we believe this is because of the government scrappage scheme. As car sales actually keep rising this year, it holds our government in good stead to get out of this ridiculous credit crunch.

Ford is still dominating the car sales with the highest percentage made, with vauxhall as always a close second. All the major players in the car industry are now calling for an extension to the scrappage to help benefit the car industry. Hopefully September will also have a good month, especially with the introduction of the new number plate.
